Soak up the Happy Slam vibes across Melbourne Park with music and the city’s best food and beverages. Plus, with massive screens indoors and out, you’re set for every second of the finals, right down to championship point.

The Finals Festival lineup has been curated by the Australian Open in association Untitled Group, the largest independent music promoter in Australia and the masterminds behind festivals such as Pitch Music & Arts, Grapevine Gathering, Wildlands, For The Love, Ability Fest & more.

“The Finals Festival will be an incredible way to wrap up what is shaping up as a spectacular AO23,” Australian Open Tournament Director Craig Tiley said.

“It’s an exciting new initiative for the AO, which has always led the way with music and entertainment alongside the world-class tennis. The Finals Festival also gives us the opportunity to showcase our newest stadium, Kia Arena, in a unique new way.”
